- What was Hitler's first big mistake during World War II? What happened during the German Army's final charge on Moscow? When did you realize the mistake you made? What made you have this error?
At the end of September 1941, the German Army launched Operation Typhoon with the aim of reaching Moscow. With this, it was hoped to finally defeat the Red Army that was west of the capital, and after taking the city, cause the surrender of the Soviet Government. Although the offensive began in the best possible way for the Germans, everything soon changed completely.
While the fighting was taking place, the German leader made a big announcement that soon turned against him. In this program we will analyze all the details of this event.

This must be text-to-speech because even non-German speakers know how to pronounce Wermacht, Jodl, Goebbels, etc.
It’s pronunciation of Jodl as Jowl was egregious.
I noticed that. I think there may be some AI translation of German in here as well, because of mistakes like calling the weather "he" -- translating German pronouns literally rather than idiomatically.
Goebbels stills sounds silly even when you say it right tho so let's give the AI a pass on that one so the computers can also bond with us over laughing at him
@@AlexRojas-db6ydgreat comment. Keep up the good humour.
12:00 coup d'etat becomes coo day EEE tah
Gosh! A politician lied to his people and the rest of the world. I'm shocked!
When a politician gets caught lying to the people, they will shrug their shoulders laugh and say Well that's politics or Sorry I miss spoke or I was taken out of context But when a citizen lies to the government that's a federal crime.
I pray the truth come into the light soon.
Gosh!! People know this extremely well established fact and they go out and vote!! That's what is truly SHOCKING.
You really think a politician would do that? Get in stage and tell lies to the people?
And yet you preserve the institution of Govt.
His intelligence in the USSR was a disaster.
They had no clue what they were getting involved in.
Gathering intel on Russia was a major problem referred to on a number of times by German commanders in their correspondence.
Germany suspected they had lost when they failed to take Moscow in 1941. By Stalingrad, they knew they had lost, but thought they could hold a part of Western Russia. After Kursk, they had no reserves and were running out of everything, especially oil, having failed to wrap it up in Stalingrad quickly and go south to take Grozny and Baku and the oilfields there. It was at that point, Adolf knew he'd fucked up and most of his gang started looking for retirement villas in Argentina
….They didn’t retired in Argentina they were in full throttle setting up “ Pax Americana “ with Pinochet-Strössner-Klaus Barbie-Roschmann-Bormann Network ( Operation Condor)..🫵🏼💀🇺🇸 and the killing keep continuing under the Nixon-Kissinger Administration…
Loved the last sentence! Wonderful! 😂😂😂
We hv 2B thankful that Hitler would not let his army take Moscow when it cud hv been taken.
The high command wanted 2 push on 2 Moscow when it had no defenses, or weak defenses. Hitler wanted mopping up operations instead of the push 2 Moscow.
This fatal delay allowed the Soviets 2 prepare proper defenses 4 Moscow. Gen Zukov did this. Just as he did at Lenningrad.
That’s the Halder story, but it is no longer credible.
Argentina LOVED ALL THE NAZIS!
5 December 1941. "Berlin, we have a problem."
"Have you tried switching the war off and on again"
While going to college in the 1970's, I was friends with a nurse who had been stationed on the Eastern Front. She saw first hand the level of causalities the Russians had inflicted upon the German army, and knew they could not be sustained. THEN she heard that the US had declared war; she concluded that Germany had just lost the war.
Um...German declared war on the U.S. They didn't have to, and it doomed them.
@@jeffmcdonald4225 Right up to a point, it was a matter of days before Roosevelt declared war on Germany, the bastard provoked the attack on Pearl Harbour to drag the unwilling USA into the war as his pal Churchill begged him to do and his handler Bernard Baruch told him to do. The official version of WW2 is crap.
Pretty sure having a megalomaniac in charge only ever has one result. Self destruction
@@jeffmcdonald4225 In fact, Hitler did in a lone decision. He phrased it as if the U.S. had started the war.
For many Germans, that was the decisive moment. My grandfather heard during a military briefing. The commanding officer commented, "gentlemen, that's about it" and everybody nodded.
@@thiloreichelt4199 The reason for that was to not have an excuse anymore for targeting US ships that were aiding the Soviet Union through the lend-lease with a vast amount of supplies such as oil and equipment, vehicles such as tanks and so on.
Well, in hindsight it was stupid, but just 24 years earlier, in 1917, Russia had literally collapsed with the Germans standing much farther to the west, in the Baltic lands, Belarus and Ukraine. With that in mind it looked as if it was obvious that the Soviet Union would collapse with the Germans at the city limit of Moscow.
Yes. But that was with internal dissent and revolution within Russia by the Bolsheviks. That didnt happen in 1941 with the iron hand of Stalin and the population all on the same page.....
But Russia came back roaring like a grizzly bear hungry for revenge
Russia was also unable to defeat Finland in the Winter War. I understand why Hitler thought he could win.
@@redcat9436exactly, some ppl leave that out but it’s a huge factor.
russia also collapsed in 1991 without a war. they are pathetic
I'm starting to think politicians lie.
Xd
Faster than a horse can run these days.
Hitler lied in spades, but our politicians aren’t far behind.
Hitler lied. But was he a politician? He seized power. He murdered rivals.
That could never happen.
The inability of the Russians to overtake the Finnish had something to do with German expectations.
Good point... it would definitely have colored the Germans' view of the USSR military...
Typical situation, politicians sitting in their comfortable chairs having no idea of situation on the front!
Hitler was an infantry runner for 4 years in the great war. He knew the reality on the ground, he was just too psychopathic to care.
Arrogant, under estimate the enemy, over estimate themselves & over confidence, to sum up. All usually will lead to disaster, fail, break down, defeat, etc.
Hitler was told by his generals that Germany wasn’t ready for total war until 1945 but he still went ahead and gambled it all on 1939 !

There was a case of a German panzer division having not one single tank to attack Moscow. Panzer divisions were dedicated tank and armour divisions. Overextension and logistic lost the war for Germany.

@@alexbowman7582 And the fact that the Soviet railway gage was narrower than Germany's
Wider
@@GerLeahy no it was the fact that the soviet population was vastly larger. the soviets could throw thousands of more men and material into the grinder. german kill ratios were much better than soviet ones
Unlimited objectives lost them the war. When Imperial Germany invaded Russia in 1914, they didn't promise to kill every last man, woman, and child in the country. The Nazis, on the other hand, gave Russians no option to surrender. And thereby guaranteed unending resistance.
After the success of the Blitzkrieg in the West, Hitler simply started to believe his own propaganda. And as no-one dared to contradict him as he was the 'infallible genius of a military leader', Hitler trappedhimself in his own make-belief capabilities.
Sounds familiar.
Nice fanfiction, sadly it’s too far from the truth.
No it isn't : Hitler wasn't a military strategist nor tacticus. In Poland he had zero input in the plans to conquer it. In 1940 von Manstein drew up the plans to breakthrough at Sedan and race to sea. When Hitler did interfere he halted the panzers at Dunkirk enabling the bigger Victory to slip away. And already in 1940 the Germans suffered their first defeats with the Battle of Brittain. But Hitler and his propaganda made the Von Manstein plan seem like a plan of a military Genius. It was a gamble that paid off. And the Barbarossa gamble wouldn't. Since then Hitler started meddling in most offensives with the known results. After 1943 and Stalingrad the Germans were only on the retreat.
@@TheMexxodus
Nobody here is saying that Hitler was a military genius. It's blindingly obvious that he wasn't. His propaganda said that and the Germans believed it. Fact is, he was a blithering idiot who did exactly one thing well: he gave a great fire-and-brimstone speech to get people riled up and motivated. He sucked in everything he did, it's hard to find a bigger day-to-day failure than Hitler. His lieutenants and military officers routinely disobeyed his orders in order to keep him from immediately steering the ship of state onto the rocks. He had an army of people sweeping in behind him to correct his mistakes without telling him. It's annoying to hear the history books and documentaries always calling him an evil genius, it's questionable that he had even a room-temperature IQ. He's a failed artist that should've moved on to being a waiter like the rest of them. One of the running jokes in the halls of Nazi government: "Hitler is the only person in the Reich who is unaware that Ribbentrop is a rambling idiot because, in meetings, Hitler does all the talking."
If we didn't know any better, we could mistake Hitler for being a lying Socialist Narcissist.... of the type still commonly found leading left wing political parties around the world today.
It seems Hitler is still living. Every day the media bring him back
He is a fascinating character of history. I don't see it as him being brought to life.
@@ImNotaRussianBot My grandmother died in 1999 but i often think to her ,so she is still living

He sure is. Lots of Russian videos in Telegram with Ukro prisoners - SS and N@zi tattoos. N@zi patches on their N.A.T.O. uniforms.
Here's a quote from a German soldier not far from Moscow : IF THIS GOES ON , WE ARE GOING TO WIN OURSELVES TO DEATH. (THAT WAS FROM A BOOK TITLED THE STORM OF WAR BY ANDREW ROBERTS)
Pyrrhic victory
Sounds about right with most wars.
@@paulanthony5274what? Name 3😂
@@jonnyd9351 I didn't mean it per say my point is you can win battle after battle but the other side doesn't give up so you end up quiting or losing or similar. Like Hannibal, Vietnam, Napoleon. Like I said I meant it loosely as in different scenarios but winning battles but then losing the war or that section of a war or operation. I'm sure you could pick holes at what I said and you'd probably be right but I'm just saying it in a certain respect. I suppose I could have worded it different so I apologize for that and I can see why you would say that. But often success after success leads to over confidence and mistakes by many a field commander or C.I.C.
"The blow to german moral was devastating" 🤔... so devastating that they fought until May 1945 !
Well in that case later on it was because of a literal and metaphorical gun to their backs by the SS and Nazi die-hards saying “Fight or die!”
Outstanding video on a very complex subject. Also, it was very insightful and informative.
It’s amazing we still have videos coming out rehashing the same things over and over again. I guess there’s never not a demand for things nazi related. Good job Keeping it going.
Its not only the rehashing,countries ARE STILL crossing borders and creating mayhem....where have all the flowers gone...when will they ever learn..when will they...
It is easy for a dictator to make the same stupid error twice, because nobody dares to say to the leadership, "Boy, did you ever make a stupid mistake there!" Hitler knew that he had made a mistake, but nobody else reminded him of how big a mistake it was, or what action on his part had resulted in it. If his generals had rebuked him, and had told him, "Never tell our men that they have won a battle before we tell you that we have won that battle!", Hitler would have had an easy rule to follow, but without the rebuke, he did not take note of why he had erred!
Listening to his generals was never one of Hitler's favorite things.
@@7thsealord888and Hitler was also one who didn't like to hear bad news.
However when FDR and Churchill made mistakes, they too were not successfully challenged to not repeat the mistake.
True it is more obvious with Hitler, Mus and Stalin with their violent and ruthless secret and military police being right there from the beginning....
But don't underestimate liberal democratic elected leaders ability to crack skulls and arrest opposition without much justification except troublemaker. Look how many people Lincoln had arrested in just Maryland and West Virginia.
Look how many people Wilson's cops came down on if they made trouble in 1917, 18
Today we call those people YES men 😉
Hitler had his doubts of a swift victory but he wouldn’t admit it to most people. The high casualties did alarm him but he thought “I’ve gone this far and it’s too late to turn back now”. His obsession to conquer the USSR and defeat Stalin consumed him so much that he neglected political duties back in Berlin where he was most needed. This was his ultimate chance to create German expansion in the east and destroy Bolshevism/Judaism. He wasn’t going to lose it, no matter the cost.
Hitler was not an evil genius; he got into power by a combination of timing and brutality, and then demonstrated that he was a fool. His alliances with small, weak countries like Italy, Bulgaria and Rumania, who he thought were great powers, and then declaring war on the U.S., about which he was woefully ignorant, his decision to stay in Stalingrad and other strategic blunders. Intelligence and a psychopathic obsession with Jews do not go hand-in-hand.
doubt it, he was as delusional as it gets. You can blame it on a daily cocktail of amphetamines.. The man allowed no retreat and yelled "countrrattack" until his armies collapsed
Thats right and if you checkout the secretly recorded meeting of hitler with the president of Finland Mannerheim, hitler is very candid about his doubts that he can defeat Russia.
@@johnwright291I think Mannerheim was not president. He was a general of Finland's army.
@@duniagowes no I'm quite sure he was the prime minister. But yes he was a military officer from away back. You should listen to the recording of him and Hitler if you haven't. It is fascinating and reveals Hitler as actually quite normal.
Before the invasion senior German officers including Paulus ran detailed war simulations several times and each time the simulation ended with a complete break down of the supply lines at 6 months, their solution was to say the war would be over in 3 months.
Paulus was also one of the few commanders who opposed Operation Barbarossa openly.
@@melange78they had no choice. They had to invade.
@@DePraatjesMakerThey could stay and wait for Stalin to make the first move
@@pokerkramer1240 food was supplied by Ukraine. Not a smart smove, they had no choice.
I read that a 4 month war is what they planned.
Who starts an invasion in June? It was originally supposed to start in late April. The Yugoslav uprising delayed this as troops were bought in to stop it; hence their delayed start.
Heavy spring rains causing flooding in Belorussia and Ukraine prevented an early jump off anyway.
the greeks and british fought the italians and germans in greece and the greek islands that is why we lost the desert war 1n 1941 by diverting six divisions to help greece which were defeated and had to be rescued by the royal navy and taken back to Egypt and the Yugoslavs changed side against Hitler and hitler sent twenty divisions to defeat them so delaying his attack on russia... dont forget at the start of the invasion of russia they and germany were allies who both invaded Poland on 1st september 1939 starting the war with france and britain
D-Day started in early June so I don’t know where you’re coming from with this line of thinking.
April to May was mud season anyway so It would not helped them at all.
The tides were a factor in determining when D-Day occurred. Once the Allies were on European soil, Germany was doomed to inevitable defeat. One of the motivation for Operation Valkyrie was that the Army realized that Germany should cut its loses in Summer, 1944 and negotiate a peace, Hitler and his cronies did not. @@juliemissick4206
In his memoirs, Khrushchev described : “Stalin stated bluntly that if the United States had not helped us, we would not have won the war.”
Stalin received from the USA :
• 400,000 jeeps & trucks
• 14,000 airplanes
• 8,000 tractors
• 13,000 tanks
• 1.5 million blankets
• 15 million pairs of army boots
• 107,000 tons of cotton
• 2.7 million tons of petrol products
• 4.5 million tons of food
Also the kerosene for the US airplanes, since the Soviets could not produced it .
Stalin at the Tehran Conference: "I raise my glass to the American auto industry and the American oil industry."
without Lend Lease USRR would lost war probably
True. Though if Hitler would try to unite with Stalin instead of fighting him, nobody would defeat this coalition, not even the US, and nothing would stop Germany from taking over everything from Ireland to Balkans.
Whenever you secure an objective you should make sure to inform the enemy.
I believe it's called "Hubris"...
👍👍👍
To add to this, Fritz Todt, Minister for Armaments and Munitions and later (also?) Inspector General for Water and Energy, apparently had a HUGE argument with Hitler during which he stated that from the viewpoint of Logistics, Germany could not defeat Russia.
He later died in an aeroplane crash under mysterious circumstances and was replaced by Speer.
No mystery...look what happened before night of long knives
We know this kind o plane crashes and unsecured windows from modern Russia.
He truly had a Prigoshin moment... 😂
Hitler had such power and power at that moment that he did not need any staged plane crash to dismiss a dissatisfied minister. Hitler had such huge and enormous power in his hands that it was enough for him , just to point the finger at anyone, and the SS would solve it very quickly. This is one of conspiracies from that time, but after war nobody from his inner circle ever mentioned or confirm that. On the list of suspicious person responsible for Todt death are also Goering and Bormann. We will never know truth.
Paulus had also done studies and had concluded Germany couldn't win. He was told to do them again and the the right answer.
Germany didn't take Moscow because of heavy losses and poor logistics, not because of winter.
it reminds of all this people in the west who have continued to say that Ukraine is only weeks away from defeating Russia.

I have followed Ukraine news, videos and channels pretty closely for 18 months, …..and have literally NEVER heard anyone say that.
Did you reverse the country names, as I did hear a lot of “it’s brave for Zelensky to stay or Ukraine to fight, but Russia will inevitably take over Ukraine in just a few weeks” back when Russia first invaded, but that fell apart almost immediately thanks to Russias own incompetence and corruption.

Fantastic video. You have in time frame there .Exactly where the tide went out to the German war.

Great document that has not been presented as such before
Agreed!
I've been binging videos on Barbarossa, Stalingrad, Kursk, etc, right through to the capitulation of Berlin in 1945, and thought I knew most of the story but this was all new to me!
I can vividly imagine how these two proclamations of "victory" would destroy the German people's trust in Hitler and Goebbels. While they tried to change the story after the announcements, people would not forget. It's just the same in our personal and business lives - when someone tells us definitively that something important is "finished" then we become very wary of them after they backtrack.
I even make a point running my business that I never tell a client that I have "done" something until after it is all actually "done", even if I am very confident that it's "nearly done" because I am wary of having to say later "oooops..sorry..".
Interesting content as always!! Thank's for your work 💫➕
Ty
Great edits and narration. Entertaining video in an easy and consumable way.
I appreciate your insight, thanks for the video! The 1941 German supply system was partially based on looting and plundering. It didn't work out with winter clothing in Russia, lol.
Yes it did. They looted and plundered clothing from men and even women, in order to try and stay warm.
Great video, thanks👍
Of one looks at the big strategic picture, you can see Operation Barbarossa was launched between 6 and 8 weeks too late. It was initially planned for late April/early May 41, but was delayed because Mussolini needed German help for his Balkans/Greece campaign which had been almost defeated. Hitler diverted several divisions, including the Parachute Division, to help. The casualties and delays set Barbarossa back to June 41. The early rainfall and early cold snap crippled the advance both on Moscow and Leningrad. The rest is history
totally correct sir
One other thing that needs to be emphasized is, by meteorology standards, this was abnormally early and hard winter for the area, as some would say, a small ice age, whether it had something to do with the war causing or not, is still debatable.
@@1965Grit that's true, it affected the battle of the Atlantic as well.
It's foolish to waste even a moment inventing ways the Nazis could've won. They could never win. They declared war on a billion people, on the United States and the Soviet Union. They were losers. Everything about them pathetic. They never had the logistics. Not even close. When was it too late for Germany? The moment Hitler was made Chancellor.
Robert McKee who lectures and writes about writing wrote in his book Story: 'Everything everybody writes has a subtext. "Happy birthday mom" Subtext: "Please continue to love me." .... There are odd cases though... "Hitler, for example, had no subtext. “Mein Kampf” was not a metaphor; it was a timetable for the holocaust. He stated his full intentions in the text, but because his visions were too horrible to believe, allied politicians spent the 1930s...." 'trying to convince themselves he really didn't mean it. ' (This outside the quote ending is how McKee said it in the Audiobook.)
The Soviets were always going to win, The Vietnamese were always going to win, the Chinese were always going to win. The Taliban were always going to win. And the Ukranians will win, the Palestinians and the Israelis will live together in peace (The world is about sick of it. Ask people in Northern Ireland in 1990 if they thought there would ever be peace) I've lived long enough, learned enough history, that these are just repeats.
These things are absolutely predictable as they are happening. When we invaded Iraq in 2003 on lies, obvious blatant lies, it was always going to be 'another Vietnam.' I remember the moment 6 weeks before the invasion when I and a lot of other people had the realization, "Maybe there are no WMDs." Up to that point we figured they find a bit of this and that. (And don't waste your time talking about poison gas bombs dug up. They weren't usable.)
People and politicians who think otherwise will inevitably convince themselves to repeat the same mistake again, with the same predictable outcome. If only the .... had .... should cause embarrassment not lead to self destructive policy.
But take George Bush Senior, "No More Vietnams." He had learned. Crushed the Iraqis in a couple of days, didn't bother with the self destructive occupation nonsense, got the Saudis to pay for all of it. If he repeated anything it was D-Day 5 June 1944. His son then fucked up.
Pulling Guderians panzas back to help army group centre didn't help the campaign either.
Another truthful and amazing work again...politician is lied to it's own people and the rest of world...lies are always has a short lengthy ropes
Great video thanks!!!

The relocation of soviet industry past the urals and germany indicate command and control was fully in order and relocation of administration would have been similarly successful moscow fallen would not be a fatal blow ?

Great video.
If Germany invaded France and Belgium on Hitlers planned day it too may have been a disaster for Germany... but bad weather in the late autumn early winter of 1939/1940 caused him to finally listen to his generals...who had been stalling to avoid a winter invasion.
Winter is almost always an advantage to the defenders who are already in place and stocked for it.
france is much smaller than russia
@@Blox117 But France had the world's largest army at this time and Belgium was neutral. The key to the attack was that it was a surprise invasion via The Netherlands and Belgium.

I like that you put reverb on certain parts 🎉🎉🎉
It's like the old saying goes, never count your chickens before they hatch!!!!!
I read somewhere the reason why the German military wasn't issued cold weather gear was because the astrology "experts" said it was going to be a warm winter.
I read that Hitler thought they could take Russia out before winter set in; however it’s true that he consulted astrologers.
Oh? They also had climate crazies back then?
I always thought the reason was that they were going to win very fast and in late autumn they would be back home after defeating the soviet army
@War Academy 👍 Thumb's up for the episode itself. Interesting, well balanced. Audio - it sounds like AI voice.

Everyone, BUT hitler knew they had lost the war. On December 8th, 41! Even before the war, hitler dismissed the USA as too weak and complacent. We couldn't have defeated Germany on our own, but we were the glue that held the allies together!
Amazing video again
Ty
Excellent. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I liked this except the use of the sound effect of the camera shutter. It seems low budget or amateurish to use an iPhone sound effect in a documentary. The voice over was excellent though.
Nobody dared say NO to Hitler.
Hitler claimed victories or impending ones before they had hppened, and failed to chnge strategies when things stalled. Hitler madebig blunders.... he should have had troops preparing for winter. Moscow in 1941 was an over-reach, but Stalingrad was even worse.
nice fanfinction
The Germans were shocked to learn that the Russians had a better tank, the T34, than they did.
Good history Channel
Hitler didn't know you have to march to Vladivostok to take Russia 😊 Moscow it's only stage one😅
Hitler didn't want to go further a certain point I believe. Not certain.
The bot voice was pretty good but it doesn't switch to German pronunciation when necessary. Hearing about Colonel-General Joe-del and the ware-marked is a bit grating.
Especially for people who speak German. Ach!
Eva to Adolf in May: “but you said we would win”. Adolf: “quit nagging, turn on my favorite music and load my gun”.
And Go-Balls
During a meeting among the top brass, Halder told Hitler that there were 1,000,000 more Soviet troops northwest of Stalingrad. Hitler denied it. Halder stalked out of the room and was demoted.
this is such a decisive factor of ww2
@@tomassmolen9443 Hitler being incompetent? Yes. That's why the Allies never tried to assassinate him. They were afraid he'd be replaced by someone better.
Correct. In my study I recognized that the German army was not so much defeated, because Rzhew 1942 was a bigger operation than Stalingrad and Germans won that battle. It was the Romanians that lost at Stalingrad. Kursk was a draw, because Hitler unlogicaly withdraw won battle. So, if you read twice you see that German army lost only in late 1944, the sixth year of war. It is very good report card altough@@jguenther3049
It's an excellent and interesting video. I did not know, nor notice the importance of the timing of those stupid announcements.
Goebels the arch realist and cynic , hitler the eternal dreamer , something had to give and it did . Stalingrad and the beginning of the end for germany .
The end began before then.
@@TheNelster72 i agree , the german failure to capitalize on Dunkirk , fightiñg on two fronts , Barbarossa in june and not in april , etc . but i believe Staingrad was the Last Chance Saloon and that buffoon , hitler finally made an error , that even he could not rectify or gloss over .
Describing Hitler as an “eternal dreamer” is vaguely funny to me
As a German citizen it would have been very hard to know what was really happening in the big picture. And it could be very risky to ask too much.
Not sure capture of moscow would mean end of ussr berlin captured rump reich was in flensburg relocated if but short life
Napoleon captured Moscow but the Russians fought on and defeated him in the end.
The generals wanted to capture Moscow because many rail lines and factories were located there and they also thought they could use it to shelter from winter.
Very good extract of the whole. Such shorts should also exist in german language for a german public.

My Bad...Addie to Gerbels...no, no mein fueher My Bad
Terrific video. I'm deeply curious what people in various countries were thinking at the time. I know May 1940 after France fell in 6 weeks Hitler peaked in popularity in Germany. The Nazi Party newspaper Vokischer Beobachter headline "The campaign in the East has Ended!" is exactly like George W. Bush's 2003 aircraft carrier announcement with the "Mission Accomplished" (in Iraq) banner behind him. The boast just before the disaster starts.
(The muddy season is the Rasputitsa: a couple weeks in the Autumn and a couple in Spring. Also Napoleon withdrew from Moscow 19 October 1812. So Russian winter? Napoleon left his army in Lithuania in early December. They had 90% casualties by the time they got back to France.)
Want to know the moment Hitler's deep consciousness knew his goose was cooked? When they made the premature victory announcement. (Probably for Bush as well.) This is like the kids lined up for the race and one kid tells the others how he's going to leave them in the dust. He has no chance, but might not yet consciously know it, still he'd like at least the taste of victory -- before his inevitable defeat. I like the quotes, "We won the war," to "We're winning the war" to "We can't possibly lose." I was a school teacher, it's amazing how the higher up in the bureaucracy people get the more revealing nonsense they spout.
Germany: 80 million was going against Russia 170 million . This while they were still stretched occupying hostile populations in most of Europe and fighting in North Africa. A few years ago I met a Russian who's city during the war made more artillery and tank guns than all Germany did for the entire war, and "we weren't even the biggest producers in the Soviet Union." This is why I like to say WWII was won by the Red Army at Stalingrad and by my grandmother in Detroit making tank parts.
Be interesting to dig into Japanese government announcements to the Japanese about their war in China. I don't know that they ever announced a complete victory, but even as late as October 1944 when they pushed south and captured Guilin, they could go anywhere in China. If they didn't win every battle, they could still win the campaign. But they occupied roads and cities, not the countryside. (The study of WWII should never include any of that 'If the Germans had done this they would've won..." nonsense. Instead if the study includes speculation it should be If the U.S. hadn't gotten involved, how long would it have taken the Chinese to grind down the IJA? What would Filipinos have needed to defeat the Japanese occupation? What would a Russian invasion of the mainland of Japan have been like? ) Something else about how we know, and they know: All the photos and films of Japanese atrocities in Nanjing. They came from Japanese soldiers sending their film back to Shanghai to be processed and printed in photo labs full of Chinese workers. The Chinese made extra copies.
Great comment, thanks!
True that France fell in 6 weeks but the defeat as you well know was on the cards in as little as 2.
Apparently Napoleon's logistics example was totally lost on Hitler, but not on many German generals? (Simple math!)
Pretty stupid. They were supremely overconfident fueled by Hitler's racism that made him totally underestimate the Russians because they were Slavs. Another great video.
Nice fanfinction
@@DePraatjesMaker He speaks the truth.....
In Soviet armis where Slaves and many others ethnic groups.
They did a pause. Lessons to be learnt there.
Credibility isn't much of a factor when both sides are fighting to the death.
Only in reaching the crest , of the desired ; china syndrome .
Basically, an early winter in October saved Stalin.
Jodl is pronounced "yodel".
ERA and ERROR...same pronunciation. Good one Yankee Doodles! 🤪
I read an article about a how the one and only Nazi military officer who had ever flown over the USSR was sidelined when he told Hitler and the brass that the sheer size and rough landscape of the USSR rendered it far too big for Germany to conquer in a reasonable amount of time.
Great video sir but I the the soldiers @10:28 are Romanian, but to be fair you didn’t say they were not👍
Nice pic of Bormann 10:00.
It reminds me of the news we are receiving from the newspaers and TV about the current war against Russia....we never learn
Live not by lies.
The wages of sin is death.
Opening the western front didnt help either, but truly, could he have still won if he had been able to continue focusing on the east and recover from the harsh winter or was he done for either way?
Amazing work again
Ty
At this point why he was not conferring with his front line commanders is inexcusable, practical operations should have been implemented at this point, but alas they were not and the end was cemented. Pearl harbor put the nail in the coffin. RIP AH.
Victory has been cancelled due to bad weather 😂😂
Reminds me of Bush's announcement of "Mission Accomplished" in Iraq.
Exactly right my Friend. They'll do or say anything for good press no matter how wrong they are.
ano5ther fine example
me too!!!
Or when Joe Biden said "Afghanistan will never fall to the Taliban"
@@bluemouse5039 biden is right. afghanistan will never fall to the taliban
What do the symbols at 0:14 show?
The real issue is ' how in Hell did these two headcases ever ACQUIRE ANY credibility with the German people ?!
Good video!
Good info, but get rid of the computer voice. Even if you have an accent, your real voice would be better.
Good channel though
sounds kind of like our current situation and our current "allies" doing their battles.
It's "VERmact" not were-mact. @2:47 And I'd assume that it's General Alfred "Y"arl despite starting with a 'J'.
Sorry, but that's not the Sports Palace in the video, it's Kroll Opera House.
Never a good idea to use a computer voice. It makes me wonder which accent tou wish to hide. But your video is sort of okay. Demonstrates clearly the need for independent news sources, plenty of them, and the freedom to choose from them. Leaves only an open and analytical mind to be desired☺️.
Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam.
if ur gunna have an automated AI channel, might as well make the narrators voice speak in an english accent
Hey, can someone out there address a technical question, which is not my forte? I'm wondering....is the voice narrating this human?
I'm very serious. Is it? Or is it entirely an AI or technical creation? I ask because here, and in so much else in youtube, it's a major tell with weird pronunciations like "General Alfred JAH-dull", and "Coup-day-etatt" and the like. I hear this all over the place on YT.
So are all these narrations non-human, or what? Is there any human narration at all, or is it all just a production of a machine? How exactly does this work?
Thanks in advance to whomever can shed some light.
Not only is the pronunciation bad, an AI voice doesn’t have the normal inflections of a human voice.
When words are mispronounced, it's AI for sure. You can also tell because the inflections are shallow as if there is no brain behind the voice.
Someone should have said " Excuse me Fuhrer. NAPOLEON!!!"
Poor soldiers
“Mission accomplished”
Same happening now, in Ukraine, one says one thing the other says something else.
When will we learn , probably never.
Hitler never studied logistics. It shows.
Really interesting video,however you need to learn correct pronunciation of German words/names. No s sound in german....the w is a v sound. Wermacht is pronounced Vermacht. Sorry, mispronounced words bother me. Petty I know.😏
Oh, it was almost correct. The w sounded like the English one until around 1400 🤓 He's just 600 years too late.
Was für ein erbärmlicher Dreck diese Männer und all ihre kranken Kumpane waren. Es hat viel zu lange gedauert, aber ich bin froh, dass sie am Ende beide in den Dreck zurückgerutscht sind, aus dem sie kamen.
Wonder when AI will be upgraded to do other languages right, within languages. We will have lost then, for sure, and our real enemy will be here.....
